The heavy gate depicting fairies, flowers, and big trees slowly opened, and guards in cloaks walked out of the city one after another, and then stood on both sides of the city gate avenue, majestic and powerful.
In the early morning fog, messengers came one after another with news from the south, and the mood inside the imperial capital also changed somewhat.
"This day has finally arrived."
Lily was sitting in the courtyard garden of the Rose Palace, looking at the letter that had just been sent, and then raised her head and looked at the southern sky.
It is not that she is unaware of the internal problems of the empire, but such rules and traditions have been left over and passed down for nearly a thousand years, and cannot be easily interfered by by a vase queen like her.
Although those greedy nobles are damaging the country's strength, if they are eliminated, the country may no longer exist, because the establishment of the empire originated from the oaths and agreements made by the king and those vassals in the early years.
This is the power base of the emperor and the royal family. If it is broken, it will only lead to a tsunami of doubts and divisions.
"I can only do my best." Putting the letter on her skirt, Lily closed her eyes and murmured.
After a long time, she slowly opened her eyes and looked at the sleeping child beside her.
This is her and Aymanke's child. He is only two years old now and still has trouble walking.
"Grow up quickly, mother may not be able to protect you for too long." She gently stroked the child, and then rubbed the soft cheek.

"waste!"
On the other side of the palace, the regent Edron was sitting at the table in the study. Broken porcelain pieces and stationery were scattered on the floor. This man, who had always been calm, could not suppress the emotions in his heart.
The new army that he had spent many years and carefully built was actually defeated by the rebel army that had just been established less than a year ago. Even though there were thousands of reasons for this, it was still unacceptable.
I'm afraid that soon, those nobles who are watching the show will laugh secretly. Edron thought irritably in his heart.
In order to make the hierarchy of the empire flow and replace the corrupt old nobles, he has offended many people over the years. In the past, with the strength of the army to suppress them, these people could only hide in dark corners, fearing that they would not jump for joy.
I'd say you're nothing more than that, a 'usurper'.
This is the title given to him secretly by some big nobles, because the coup that year was too sudden and there were many doubts. If it hadn't been for the sudden change in the world and everyone temporarily lost their extraordinary abilities, I'm afraid someone would have come out to criticize and oppose it.
.
Although he and his brothers had suppressed, hunted, and even killed the children of the previous emperor in various names over the years, there were still some who survived.
If the opportunity is right, there is no guarantee that no one will have different intentions.
The irritability in his heart could not be suppressed. The regent walked back and forth in the study, sometimes looking for someone to discuss and vent, but could not find a suitable person.
It would be great if Roark was here.
He sat on the table and chair again, looked at the bustling ceiling in the palace, and thought of this friend who was gradually alienated from him.
When he was in Emenas, he met this classmate. Although the other person was a commoner, he admired his pragmatic and capable style very much. When he was in school, he even invited him to join the club to prepare for his future career.
Deputy to train.
Unfortunately, in the period after the coup, too much time was missed due to his sleep, and the two parties gradually drifted apart.
Although Rock never told his thoughts, Edron knew in his heart that the other party was a little disappointed.
He did not show himself to be a perfect wise king.
Yes, in order to maintain the stability of power, he had to use some conspiracies and strategies to remove opposition voices within the empire, otherwise it would be difficult to drive this huge country.
In order to enhance his voice and ability to control the empire, there are many parts that he has to compromise on.
For example, suppressing some originally excellent people and instead supporting subordinates who are more loyal to themselves.
After the emotions in his heart slowly calmed down, Edron looked out the window again. The time had reached noon, and it was early summer. The imperial capital was peaceful, as if the war-torn southern border was a far away place.
Yes, for the people who have lived in this prosperous royal city for generations, other places are just insignificant countryside. What does this have to do with them? As long as the glory of the empire remains, their status will always be solid and beautiful, no need
Worry about unnecessary things.
This is really an enviable and hateful scene.
After temporarily repelling the empire's legions, the 'Drywood' organization gained rare time and confidence. Many originally neutral organizations and forces also began to send envoys to contact this new force.
Many followers and noble descendants of the Paskar family who passed by in the south also cheered and walked out of the mountains and forests again, and began to go to the side of the red dragon princess, regrouping around her.
Among such a group of people, there are many knowledgeable and educated talents. Although they cannot directly enter the high-level positions of "Drywood", they have greatly filled the original vacancies.
After receiving education and transformation, these people will serve as administrative staff and quickly fill in various branches, taking control of the Southern Territory step by step as soon as possible.
Finally, in order to celebrate this victory and set the organization's future agenda, they also decided to hold a short celebration to inspire people.
At this point, the uniforms of the army are also being intensively produced.
After Yifan discussed it, he finally decided to use white and green as the main colors, with some red clothing as the uniform.
The sacred and pure white fairy wood, the vital and lush leaves, and the attractive and delicious bright red berries, these three represent the combination of their respective colors.
Its military uniforms have gone away from the depressive temperament that pursued chilling in the past, and instead adopted a cheerful and healthy tone, which also represents the philosophy of "Dryas", which is open-minded and fair.
In the bustling city, after months of working overtime to prepare for production, we finally had a rare break.
Everyone gathered on the side of the street, playing their own tunes, watching the neat soldiers, each holding a musket on their shoulders, walking through the white stone street under the tall street trees. Flower petals fell from the air and soared in the cheers of the people.
Rotate.
On the makeshift viewing platform, Lottie looked at the knights in golden armor who were still injured and wanted to stand up and let them go back, but then she was stopped by the girl on the side holding her hand.
"Let them come out and move around. This may slow down the wound healing for a few days, but this rare experience is what everyone longs for." Lorraine Hill whispered beside Lottie.
"Everyone needs to find a new connection point and a common good memory so that we can go forward together in the future."
Many of the descendants and followers of the Paskar family were nobles in the past and ancestors, but should they all be excluded just because of this?
No, no one is born right. Even if you have made mistakes in the past, as long as you work hard to redeem and save, you may not be unable to gradually change.
What kind of future will it be? Will we look at each other's identities strictly to distinguish between opposing groups, or will it be judged only by each person's actions and behaviors?
A person is not noble because of his birth and status, but is respected only by his actions and deeds.
"We must eventually abandon all prejudices of the past and create a new future."
